They continued the push Monday to get the district to change the policy.

“It’s 2015 and things can’t just stay stagnant. It needs to be a learning experience and teaching moment for everyone,” Lisa said.

Peters said they gave Hayden options of holding the feather or wearing it somewhere else, just not on the cap.

“This is not a tribal ceremony. We’ve given them options and it’s a slippery slope. Basically, we couldn’t deny other students from placing on their cap anything they would like on their cap,” he said.

Lisa said if the board doesn’t make a change before graduation, she said she’s reached out to groups like the ACLU and a civil lawsuit is an option.

“I don’t want to. This is the school I graduated from,” Lisa said. “This is where I grew up and it hurts that the people I grew up with don’t get it.”

She said there is a plan B but said she’s not ready to talk about it just yet.
